hi, i wanted to get some ideas about what kinda tools any of you front mount intercooler guys used to cut your bumper beam? and also, does anyone have pictures of their cut bumper beam so i can have an idea on where to cut. thanks

 

I'll go look for the magazine that covered the blitz front mount install.

 

All you need is a die grinder with a cutting wheel. But if your lucky to be blessed with an acetelyn(sp?) torch or plasma cutter, that would do wonders. Although my friend with a 1st gen eclipse used a circular saw with a metal cutting blade and it worked out fine.


Other then that, simple hand tools will take care of the rest.

 

okay thanks, now my new problem is knowing where to cut the bumper beam, if anyone has a pictures of the cut bumper beam for the blitz kit, i appreciate it!

 

when you take it apart, .... you will know. just have the tools ready

 

anybody here has pictures of their cut bumper beam? i'm trying to get a visual of how it would look when it is cut, thanks.

 

I have a blitz FMIC in my car. I don't have a digital camera, but I'll see if I can borrow one and get some pics for you. Or give me a heads up if you are going to the track or something.

 

I tired searching with no success, but I did come across 2 vendors who had the Japanese instructions. Of course you cant read them, but they said it had very detailed pictures.

Quantum-Racing, and MPJ Performance had them. Try sending them emails about it. Either they will email it or fax it, to you.

 

thanks alot everyone, so far, i'm trying to get everything ready so chris(chibbygoku) could help me install my parts on wenseday, i aapreciate all the help i can get, thanks.

 

hey spooledwrx i have a digital camera if you want to take pics of yours and then post them let me know.
